Harvey Weinstein accused of rape by three women

Harvey Weinstein accused of rape by three women | 10 Oct 2017 | Three women have accused the film mogul Harvey Weinstein of rape, escalating the flurry of claims levelled at the producer and raising fresh questions about who within Hollywood was aware of what was allegedly taking place over more than 20 years. The women, two who agreed to be identified and one who spoke anonymously, told an American magazine that the producer of [well-regarded] movies forcibly performed or received one sex act, and forced another on them. The allegations, which Mr Weinstein has denied, follow claims made last week that the co-founder of Miramar Films had settled claims from eight women who accused him of sexual harassment.
